Bisexuals: Real or Just Confused?

If you’ve ever said “I’m bi” out loud, chances are you’ve heard at least one of these: “Pick a side.” “It’s just a phase.” “You’re actually gay/straight, you just don’t know it yet.”

Bisexuality gets weirdly specific hate — from both sides. So let’s clear it up without drama.

Who bisexual people actually are

Bisexuality means attraction to two or more genders. That’s it.

It doesn’t mean 50/50. Someone can lean mostly toward women, mostly toward men, or fluctuate over time. Attraction isn’t a fixed math equation — it’s more like a spectrum with a moving slider.

Why people don’t believe it

A lot of it comes down to stereotypes.

• “Bi men are just closeted gay men.”
• “Bi women are doing it for male attention.”

Both are lazy takes.

There’s even a term for this: bi-erasure — when people deny bisexuality exists at all. If you date a woman, you’re “straight.” Date a man, suddenly you’re “gay.” The bi part just gets deleted.

Reality is less convenient: some people are genuinely attracted to more than one gender. No conspiracy, no confusion.

Bisexuality in porn

Here’s where things get… skewed.

The industry doesn’t reflect reality — it reflects demand.

• Male bisexual scenes (men with men and women) are usually aimed at a gay audience
• Female bisexual scenes (women with women and men) are mostly made for straight men

So what you see isn’t a neutral representation — it’s filtered through who’s paying.

Also, not every “bi” performer is actually bisexual. For many, it’s just part of the job. But there are performers who openly identify as bi — they just get mixed into the same category, so it’s hard to tell who’s who.

Final thought

Bisexual people aren’t confused, indecisive, or performing for attention.

They just don’t fit into a clean binary — and that makes people uncomfortable.

But that’s not a flaw. That’s the point.
